    This game is not underrated, it is appropriately rated. I played this game half way 8 times, beat it, and i can verify, this game is a draaaaag. The parkour feels sloggy, the protagonist is a c***hold who contributes nothing to anyone except himself and failed doing that too. Side objectives were so trivial during missions it didnt matter at all. The only actually good part of the game isThis game is not underrated, it is appropriately rated.

    Wished it actually focused on unity among assassins and teamwork and not multiplayer. Story is fine and voice acting is actually realy good. Arno is a relatable and fun character. World exploration does not feel rewarding.

    Pros
    - the parkour animations are second to none in the series
    - the ability to hold and use two tools at the same time makes for some smooth feeling gameplay - Paris is beautifully realized with surprising crowd density that makes the city feel lived in - if you can get an online co-op going, it can be very satisfying to mow through missions with actual people instead of npcs Cons    Pros

    Cons
    - the parkour mechanics feel terrible, leading to the character doing something unintended more often than not
    - the story feels extremely bland, boring and short, compared to any other game in the series
    - the weird gear score level system this game has going on makes it feel weirdly unbalanced

    Playing Unity in 2023 feels like playing a game from another century. It looks surprisingly good with all of its architecture and crowds yet it feels like the most vapid version of the old AC games.

    For starters, the parkour is beautifully animated. It was in fact a youtube video of somebody performing a series of nice looking vaults and jumps that brought me to replay this game. And my god I should have stayed a viewer rather than a player.

    Arno feels like you are controlling a character that was made to first move with the original Resident Evil tank controls, which was then converted onto a joystick. The only part of this system that works reliably is the descend down option.

    Everything else feels like it is pulling from a deck of ten cards, where only one of those cards is the action you intended, while the rest are just the most awful alternatives that will completely mess up whatever you were trying to do. Vault over a fence you vaulted over ten times before? How about I hop up on it and refuse to leave it. How about climbing up? Nope gets stuck for ten seconds before the character finally gets up even though it makes it seem impossible. Did you miss a ladder? Oh god have mercy on your soul, cause you are gonna miss it three more times as Arno will press his shoulder into it but otherwise ignore its existence.

    But still, this game sometimes works as you intended it and those are the moments that feel wonderful. Running through a place, dropping smoke bombs, disabling guards with Phantom Blade quickshots before making a beautiful looking escape. They are rare, but when those moments go off without a hitch it feels fantastic.

    What does not help is the story. My god if this aint one of the most generic plots in this series I don't know what is? It also feels so predictably boring it ain't even funny. Kill guy, learn about another guy. So you kill that guy to learn about another guy and then you kill that guy. The cherry on top is the anemic and frankly pathetic modern day story that has no consequence, no emotional payoff, no…. nothing.

    Unity is not a complete travesty of a game. It is, however, painfully average. I was lucky to not play it during the release, so thankfully I have avoided all the bugs. Yet the movement mechanics feel like they remain bugged to this day. What a meh experience.    … Expand

    La historia propone una premisa interesante (la búsqueda de Arno del asesino de su maestro) y un mapa bastante completo a mi parecer, aunque he hecho más viajes rápidos del tiempo real que pasé en recorrerlo. Me gustó mucho el detalle de poder ir mejorando el Café y cumplir las misiones de los símbolos para desbloquear esa armadura especial que hay bajo él. También están bien las misiones de resolver asesinatos, aunque algunos son bastante enrevesados.

    Gráficamente está bien, en jugabilidad podría haber sido mucho mejor y la verdad es que después de completar las misiones principales y alguna suelta por ahí, no me quedaron ganas de seguir completando el juego.    … Expand

    After the patches, it was an okay game. Not good, not bad. Honestly the only good thing about this is the setting (could say this about every AC game I played, honestly), it fits the series really well and if you like history like me, you'll enjoy that part, but when it gets old, there is nothing here.

    Not That bad of a game when the bugs are fixed. The gameplay is decent with decent combat and great stealth. The story is boring but still not that bad. Parkour and animations are fine. Definitely worth a try now that the bugs are somewhat fixed.

    This game is not THAT bad. I think it's better than syndicate. If it were not for so many lags I would probably put a greater mark. The story is fine. Arno is now my third favourite assassin character. Paris looked amazing and the feeling of revolution in the air felt quite real.

    Game is meh, weak compared to other old Assassin's game. It has great parkour, very cool stealth and tools and is visually satisfying to see things happen, such as combat and traversal. But side content is trash, story is very bad, it looks like they didnt even bother with it. Its just there because it needs to have something. Multiplayer is fine.

A game with an exciting story, okay characters but, a ton of technical difficulties and clunky gameplay mechanics. I couldn't go one second in this game without losing frames or experiencing a glitch such as an NPC just randomly popping in/disappearing (though some were quite funny) but, props to Ubisoft for significantly improving performance from the disastrous launch. Gameplay is quite similar. ARNO WOULD NEVER GO WHERE I WANTED HIM TO GO!!! It was as if he had a mind of his own and he truly hated me and wanted me to have the worst parkour experience in the whole series. Oh, and don't get me started on the cover system. It is truly broken and excuse my french.............. a pure piece of **** Majority of the time I got caught during stealth cause of this poorly executed mechanic which really deterred the stealth experience and led me to constantly restart checkpoints so that I could have a full stealth run on each mission. Lastly with gameplay, I have to talk about combat. I like and understand the premise where you should be a sneaky assassin and combat should be a last resort but, I thought at times it could get too overwhelming. This is especially prevalent in large groups making it nearly impossible to kill all of them and to feel like the badass one-man army like in the previous games. *Breath*
    Now let's get to what I liked which was the story. I am a sucker for emotional, impactful, and action-packed revenge stories and this game truly delivered. The synopsis is after the death of Arno's father, he is taken in/adopted by another individual however, this individual was assassinated by a group of people who Arno and the daughter of this individual Elise, hunt down and assassinate throughout the game. This was excellently executed with numerous set pieces, large-scale assassinations, and beautifully produced cutscenes that really made me connect with the main characters and feel impacted by what was going on on-screen. Arno as the main character is a memorable one but not my favorite as a result of his arc throughout the game. In the beginning, he is quite a charming, dangerous and witty character which I really enjoyed and appreciated. However, after the beginning, he loses all his poise and just becomes this stone-cold killer with only one quest which is the quest for vengeance. However, all scenes with Elise brought out the nature of him that I liked which is why by the end of the game, I loved his character and one I shall remember and be inspired by. The other characters on the other hand were also pretty good but I feel, were a bit underused and could've had more time under the spotlight to truly connect with them.
    *Breath*
    I think that's about it. Dear reader, please remember these comments are mine alone and my experience may greatly differ from yours, and that's something I adore about games. Overall, this is a good game that I can recommend to anyone and I feel a 7 accurately represents this.
